thanks for the feedback. while some of my favorite images are street style i clearly need to improve here. i hope to keep posting at least once a week. i appreciate the feedback and much of it makes sense.

you said "pay attention to your bg, so you minimize distracting overlaps with your main figures." and "maybe work on distracting bg--imagine if you had moved a step forward and leaned left a bit: now the hat is outlined against the pillar behind the man. and etc." in reference to the gentleman in the green seersucker suit.

i am embarrassed to ask but what is "bg" in this context?

ps. last night when i was looking through the day's pictures the girl struggling with the backpack and purse seemed funny to me. now that i see the picture after and good nights sleep i see the picture is in poor taste and i regret posting it. it distracts/detracts from the other pictures too.
